The award recognises outstanding science communication work conducted by UK biologists, and Dr Smith’s innovative approach secured him the top prize in the established researcher category.

The Society of Biology Science Communication Awards recognise and reward communication work carried out by biologists to inform, enthuse and engage the wider community. The audiences vary from school children to patients to the general public and projects ranged from written articles to art displays. Overall the judges were looking for a programme of activities that have brought good quality science to non-academic audiences in engaging ways that are likely to foster a lasting interest in biology.
